Venom is disappointing. From the torso up he's fine, great sculpting, good paint (a navy wash instead of that sky blue they keep using on black costumes). From the waist down it's worse than the first 3.75" Venom. Hardly any movement in the hips, knees are worthless because he's top heavy and can never balance unless you keep his legs straight. Accessory is garbage (a *mechanical* biting symbiote head??) and wont even stay on his arm.

Green Goblin on the other hand is pretty great, and will probably replace MU gobby in my display. Mine has wonky eyes which I couldn't see until I opened him, which is annoying. He can *almost* cross his arms! His glider has slightly articulated wings and pegs for his feet so he doesn't keep falling off of it. Good range of movement in his joints. Really needs better hips, wrist swivels and at least a waist swivel, but I'm pretty impressed.

Thanks for the pictures PW!! Do like the look of that Green Goblin,do you think sawing him off at the waist,and switching in the MU/waist and legs would be worth doing to improve his lower articulation?? Love the new glider,the hinged wings are a great idea,is the head a pop-out feature??

I actually got him to hold it!! He's leaning backwards so much he can't see what he's attacking, but still!!

Still have no idea why its mechanical though...

I need to check and see if the foot pegs on the glider will work with the MU version. But I think the ball jointed knees are what make him stand on it so well.
The head of the Glider is a missile, that's it fully loaded. It does stick out a fair way, I'm thinking of cutting the missile in half and gluing it in place. If you push the missile button the wings flap, they don't pivot much at the hinge but it's enough to make sure the foot pegs match up properly....

Yo I dont think none of you guys is from near manchester, but the ForbiddenPlanet there has urrrvrything. They have pure MU. I think 9 pegs each peg 4 figures deep. They have the avengers and Xforce team packs. many CP's. They also have like 12 pegs of the marvel legends figures. And a whole lot of marvel select. Good ones to. I got the DD/BE comic pack aswell as the sinister and thanos from there just a month ago. They also have the old dark phoenix and Cyclops CP peg warming. Just thought id let Ya'll know.

proteus and panthro. If you go to afflecks and follow the main road up the side. There should be a vans shop and a marijuana parafinalia store running horizontal on the other side of the road. When you get to the crossing at the end take a left and its just up the road next to the carhart shop. It massive dude, like two floors full of shit. Hope you find it. And dont be stealing all the good toys. (lol)

I must admit that I wasn't really impressed with the Spideys. Doc Ock looks ace - shame he doesn't have a stand.
